COMMUNITY EDITOR
A meal featuring crab
and grilled steak kabobs
will be served during the
Hermiston Education Foun-
dation Benefit.
Formerly known as
Beach & Beef Fundraiser,
the event is in its 10th year.
Money raised by the non-
profit foundation will be
used to help enhance the
educational experience of
students throughout the
Hermiston School District.
With a theme of “Follow
Your Art,” the benefit dinner
and auction is Saturday with
the doors opening at 5 p.m.
for silent auction viewing at
Eastern Oregon Trade and
Event Center, 1705 E. Air-
port Road, Hermiston. Din-
ner will be served at 6 p.m.,
with the live auction fol-
lowing. Tickets are $40 and

ton School District office,
305 S.W. 11th St.; Hermis-
ton Chamber of Commerce,
1055 S. Highway 395,
Suite 111; and via www.
eventbrite.com.
Some of the items on the
auction block include tick-
ets and a parking pass for a
Seattle Seahawks game, a
dinner package at Anthony’s
Restaurant in the Tri-Cities
and a “Stay & Play” pack-

Prior to last year’s Hermiston Education Foundation Benefit, students in Kendra Scott’s ABLE
class at Rocky Heights Elementary School created decorations for the event. This year’s
fundraising dinner and auction is Saturday at Eastern Oregon Trade and Event Center.
one-night accommodations,
golfing, movie passes and
dinner.
Karen Sherman, HEF
co-president, said the board
has been busy the past few
months. While involved in
planning for the annual ben-
efit dinner, they also took
on organizing last month’s
Dancing with the Hermis-
ton Stars.
Phil Scheuers, who
joined the HEF board in
October, said the change of
venue provides better logis-
tics for the event. Having
some extra space, he said,
will reduce the bottleneck
of people trying to pay for
auction items while others
are leaving the event.
In addition to assisting
with preparation and cre-
ating some of the artwork
for decorations, district stu-
dents will be selling raffle
tickets.
“They will move around
the venue and rally up sup-
port for the fundraiser,”
Scheuers said.
Proceeds from the bene-
fit are used to award grants
twice a year to district staff
for projects, equipment or
activities that aren’t avail-
able through the district’s
budget. Since 2003, the
foundation has disbursed
more than $300,000 in
grants.
In addition, a scholar-
ship program was estab-
lished in the spring of 2017.
Each year, eligible gradu-
ating seniors can apply for
$2,500 scholarships.
